Daily Programme
Part Two
The list below is the preliminary list of speakers who wish to deliver a statement at the high-level
segment under agenda item 9 of the COP and agenda item 14 of the CMP.
The list is provisionally divided into morning, afternoon to facilitate the organization of the order of
speakers.
All speakers are reminded to be present in the plenary 10 minutes or at least two speakers prior
to their presentation. They will be escorted by an usher during the presentation of the previous speaker from
the seat of their delegation to a reserved chair close to the podium. Attending Heads of State or Government will
be driven to the VVIP entrance of the Moon Palace Hotel and from there escorted by a Protocol Officer to the
seats of their delegation. The VVIP lounge will also be available for the Heads of State or Government before
delivery of their statements.
Representatives are reminded that statements made during the high-level segment should not exceed the
three-minute limit, as decided by the Conference of the Parties at its first plenary meeting. Given the large
number of statements, it is suggested that statements be as brief and concise as possible, with full texts available
for distribution (see below for the quantities required). If Parties do not wish to speak but would prefer to only
have their statements circulated, the secretariat will make arrangements to distribute the copies and enter the
statement in the records of the Conference.
Parties interested in taking up this offer should communicate their interest to the External Relations
team, located in the Conference Affairs Services office in the Sunrise Lobby (Maya), Moon Palace
(Ms. Grace Ann Smith) by 12.00 on Saturday, 4 December. Any other changes to the speakers’ list should also
be brought to the attention of the External Relations team.
The Daily Programme is available electronically at <unfccc.int/>. Participants are kindly reminded to
consult the CCTV monitors for any last-minute changes to the Daily Programme. In order to reduce paper
consumption, participants are kindly requested to retain copies of documents throughout the sessions.

Parties are requested to note that the secretariat is not in a position to accommodate individual requests
for changes in a Party’s speaking slot. Parties wishing to make a change should arrange to exchange slots with
another Party, and jointly notify the secretariat of the agreement that has been reached.
All Parties are kindly requested to provide the Conference Officer with 20 copies of their statements in
advance to meet the needs of the interpreters and the Conference records. Parties wishing to have their
statements distributed during the plenary meeting are requested to provide 300 copies. These copies may be
delivered to the Conference Officer’s table located beside the podium in the plenary. Statements that are
delivered during the high level segment and for which copies are provided to the secretariat, will also be
available on the COP 16/CMP 6 website at <unfccc.int/>.
